This is a tin-glazed earthenware plate decorated with a portrait of King George I of Great Britain, surrounded by military symbols and a floral border. It's likely from the 18th century, although the exact date is unknown. The blue and white color scheme is typical of Delftware, which is known for its decorative motifs. While the artist remains unidentified, the plate is a great example of Dutch ceramics and the art of portraiture on decorative objects. The plate is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
